A couple of months ago
I did a post on my friend's sister
Adama Kai, who decided to pack
up her Parson's sewing box and
move back to Sierra Leone
to launch her 1st line.

ASCHOBI

Reuters just picked
up her story.



Adama's decision to return

...is high culture.

I'm fascinated
by the bizarre, freakish acts
of those who still gulp fire, juggle knives
...and walk on thin white ropes for
the thrill of spectacle.

in praise of the
surreal, beautiful
fantastic, grotesque
bigger-than-life
feats that collide
with reality.
